บททั้งหมดของ His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now: บทที่ 151 - บทที่ 160

MONICA.I undo the straps binding Roman to my body. I didn't realize how heavy he is and how much strength it took me to carry him until he's finally off my back. Anais moves over to me and covers me up, and August stays back.He's standing at the bottom of the stairs, staring at us like he can't believe what he's seeing. And I don't blame him. It must be a weird sight seeing us pull up like this, especially when he probably doesn't have a clue that Roman has been out for a while now."I have so many questions and I don’t even know where to begin," he states, kneeling next to Roman and inspecting his face. "I want to start with this. Why is he out and how did he...."He trails off when he touches the side of Roman's neck. "What's going on?" Anais asks, approaching him. "Is he...."She also trails off and my heart jumps. I rush towards Roman and cup his face. His skin is burning. It almost doesn't feel like I'm touching a person. He almost feels like pottery fresh off the kiln, when

MONICA.“No, you have to help.” I grab Anais’s arm and refuse to let her go even as she starts to struggle. “You promised me that you would help, and you won’t leave this place until you did something useful!”“Monica,” August tries to say to calm me down, but I wheel around on him angrily. He raises his hands in surrender, his eyes full of regret. “Look, we never wanted this. I did everything I can, and it just doesn’t work. Nothing works.”The despair in his tone makes me hesitate. Anais stops struggling against my grip even though my nails are starting to dig into her skin. Seeing eh damage I’m doing on her makes me come to my senses, and I finally let her go.“So nothing?” I murmur. “We can’t do anything? This is the end?”Even saying that feels like betrayal. I don’t want this to be the end.“It’s not,” August says after a moment of silence. “We haven’t given up, Monica. We’re just saying that right now, our options have gotten narrowed into nothing. We’re back at the very start.

MONICA.A scream gets stuck in my throat.I’ve been caught. Deimos is staring at me now, smiling at me like I’m some sort of a welcome guest.“Now you know what’s going on,” he says nicely, getting up from his seat. Riva follows his line of sight and she actually gasps at the sight of me. I want to back off but the grip around my body is so tight that I can’t go anywhere. “Oh, you need to stay. You can’t go. You’re here to listen to our plans, right?”Riva sounds nervous. Her voice is actually shaking when she tentatively says, “Deimos, I think I might have messed up. I was the one who wanted to get into her mind—”She stops abruptly when he holds his hand up.“Now, now, Riva.” He approaches me, stopping directly in front of me. He feels so close that I can smell him. “Monica, don’t worry. I will let you come back to your world with all the knowledge that you have. But I will warn you about one thing.”“What?” I want to ask, and he seems to read my mind.“I’m changing up the plan,” he

MONICA.It’s not easy moving around in the palace, even though it’s the dead of the night. I don’t bother coming back to my room. I just get some clothes in our martial bedroom, gathering some weapons in case something happens.And with that, I sneak out of the palace before the sun can come up and anyone would come looking to find me.The early morning is cold. I can see my breath fogging up in front of me as I swerve deep into the forest. I rub my hands together to warm myself up, taking a deep breath to muster the courage to go deeper than the edge.But before I can go through with it, I suddenly hear footsteps behind me.I wheel around, only to find Roman running towards me. My mind immediately jumps to the worst, only to see that Roman is frowning at me with concern as he runs.“Monica, what the hell are you doing here?” he demands as he gets closer to me. “I thought… I was looking for you!”The shock of seeing him here and still himself makes me freeze. I look around us to check

MONICA."Finally, Monica," she croons. "It definitely took you long enough, but I'm happy you're finally able to join the fight. It's overdue.”My body is growing fast, but as I land on the ground, I make sure not to land on any of the fallen soldiers. My fur is shining silver, impenetrable by any weapon. Riva just watches me with amusement, like I’m a child trying to join a game. She even breaks into a laugh as I growl at her.She tightens her grip around Roman, like she’s holding him hostage. “Do you really want to attack me and risk losing him?”Speckles of the poison in her mouth splatter on Roman, burning holes through his clothes. The spots on his skin that get sprinkled with poison begin to bleed.Whatever she has going on is dangerous. She’s completely immune to it, but it looks like the type of poison that will eat him from the inside.I would rather take the chance of possibly crashing into Roman than having him take that poison in his body.I leap at Riva at last, but she c
